Grand Palms Golf & Country Club - Championship Course

This private club has two great courses. The Championship Course has tree-lined fairways that are still fairly open, and elevated greens which are medium speed. Several lakes come into play, and the terrain is predominantly flat. The most difficult hole is #6, a 394-yard, par 4, requiring a perfectly-placed tee shot between trees on the right and the two lakes guarding the left. In addition, there is a hill that slopes down to the water, so you'll want to hit your tee shot with a slight fade, next you'll be required to hit an approach shot to an elevated green that is well bunkered. An annual Pro Am is played on this course. The Par 3 Course is wide open and short, so beginners and seniors will enjoy playing here. The fairways are lined with condominiums, and canals frequently come into play. The green fees indicated are for guests of members; these fees do not include the price of the cart.

Course Reviews

Edgewood Country Club"Traditional Donald Ross layout"Edgewood is a graceful example of a Donald Ross design, with elevated, contoured and fast greens. The traditional, tree lined layout is picturesqe and plays longer than its listed length. Par 4s #2 and #18 are each 420 yard gems. Three of the Par 5s are reachable with two long shots. 5-8 on the front is where the golf course really tests you.
The course is always in good condition, and despite its hills, is a good walking course with a solid caddy program.---D Smith, Pittsburgh, PA USA

Walden Ponds Golf Club"Golf Outing"I played in two outings at Walden Ponds golf club in 2003 and I found that the attention to detail was outstanding in both instances. The staff was extremely helpful and the golf course was one of the finest conditioned courses that I played in 2003 including private clubs. I highly recommend that you experience this golf course.---Mark Holowicki, Cincinnati, Ohio
